I had to take this one slower. It's my first by the author and won't be my last!

I read this at work and had to go hide in the bathroom to cry about it. Ouch. 
This was such an amazing story. It hurts so badly-it’s frighteningly true, and no matter how badly I wanted it never to have happened, I couldn’t make that reality possible, but there’s so much good in there as well.
This book is really peak catharsis, with a lot of really good family and culture woven in. I can tell that McLemore made this with so much care.

this one is deep, dark, and depressing. I actually started reading in March of 2022 and have now just finished it. The twist of the novel is something I would hope never happened and yet, it is a loosely based story of the author’s experiences.
